Aragorn2002 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Fascinating stuff. Looks like Germany mobilized the bulk of it's army rather late in WW1. Never knew that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Check post-war Japan, 46-50 or so. Can that be right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 45 is correct for them, but I'm guessing part of the post war numbers that seem too high is that the Japanese had around 3.5m soldiers in places other than Japan at surrender and returning them home and demobilizing them took a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yes, the army in China was about a million, and I can imagine a lot were strung out all over the Pacific, but I would have thought they would have been demobilized a lot sooner and with a lot smaller standing army afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
